Transitions and Visionworks Field Trip at We All Grow Summit

Posted on October 5, 2016

I wonder if I’m the only one that has always wanted to wear glasses even though I didn’t need them? I would put on a pair without any prescription, just to pretend. Until now that I really DO need them! Because of my age, I have presbyopia or long-sightedness. And I’m barely getting used to having to wear glasses for real.

I already had my new glasses before the event but I wanted to learn all about Transitions lenses.

And I did learn in a very fun way during the field trip. That’s why I want to share what we did with you today, I’m sure you’ll want to wear glasses just because too or if you do need glasses you’ll want to try Visionworks and Transitions!!

We left the hotel in a fancy “party bus”! It was fun because the seats were alongside the windows of the bus, not like regular shuttles of buses in rows, so we all got to see each other more and interact meanwhile traveling to Los Angeles (We departed from Long Beach).

They took us to a wonderful lunch at Gracias Madre, then we went to a cozy studio where Latina eyewear designers Coco and Breezy (twin sisters) did a storytelling session. Their story is very inspiring, they talked about how they started to create at very young age and how they moved to New York City at 19 to launch their fashion brand and we got to ask questions. The space was very intimate, it made for a great learning and inspirational day.

Some of the facts I learned about Transitions Lenses:

There are different types of Transitions lenses, they vary depending on if you spend more time outdoors or indoors.

You can apply it to almost any prescription, for example, I use progressives and I can have Transitions too!

You can also change the color of the lens when it gets dark, they have three colors: gray, brown and graphite green.

I use them now daily and I can’t stop talking about them! I don’t even notice when they turn dark or back to regular, I want to get another pair just because having different frames is like getting dress every day, you don’t want to wear the same thing all the time!!

After the session with Coco and Breezy we got to pick a frame from Visionworks’ sample box, then we got a little makeup boost with makeup artists and a style consultation with Coco and Breezy in case you wanted to add accessories but they told me mine were very on point that day (Ahem! My favorite necklace that I made, remember?). All this to prepare each of us for a portrait photo shoot! So, the photos you see of me here in this post are taken by Oriana Gonzalez.

At the beginning of this field trip I was a little worried not to fit in because it was very fashion oriented and I’m not a fashion blogger but I loved it all, I think I fit in just perfectly and I’m glad I took the chance to join and be able to meet more fashion bloggers up close and model for a little bit of the day.

It was a little out of my comfort zone which is always a good thing to do! Thank you so much to We All Grow, Transition Lenses and Visionworks for “aweing” us with this field trip!!
